Forum stories

I’m Switzerland…for the moment.

"Sweet Jesus that is a hard read."

I thought it was in response to the op at first...not sure why it needed to be posted in multiple threads.

"Phoebertandwife you do not live in this area let alone Florida. You have no idea how people dress here even if you visited for a time. People here are not farmers, as there are very few farms left as they have been developed into housing. People here are not ignorant retirees either. There are Doctors, Lawyers and such. Also is the forum not a venue to voice our opinion.? You were not there at dinner with us at dinner. You did not see or talk to the people we did. You have no idea how they acted, or why I made the statements I did. As far as repeating my statements in this, and other areas of the forums, I am not just referring to one incident. We have met with some people at different times, that do not present well. In conclusion any of you that have anything negative to say message me privately so we can discuss your feelings. mnjfla"

Sweet Jesus that is a hard read.

Can you please put some spaces in between run-on sentences?

Maybe make it like 3 paragraphs?

haha I guess they blocked me. oh well....

@MNJ,

The OP opened this thread with the following post: “ So we enjoy reading the forum stories.. BUT can you people at least break up your stories with paragraphs, break in sentences , etc. Those that don't are missing out!”

You proceeded to post an unrelated/off-topic response, not only in this thread but multiple others.

I found it, I guess one might say…funny, and chose to respond, poking fun as I saw others do as well. If you see this as criticism then you might want to hustle over to Walmart fans catch their 2 for 1 Thick Skin Sale.

And for the record, I don’t disagree, hats have no place at a dinner table.

@GGMM, standard protocol for viewing the forums these days.

I'm feeling an unaccountable urge to turn my head and watch a game on tv.

Hmm lets see I do recall a meet in NOLA where one was and ready to go... but someone had to go home after drinks.. and take care of business!

There is always another city sometime in one's travels.. One only has to ask!

Merry Xmas

So Bridgetender you popped back in to criticize and start some crap. If you have nothing intelligent to contribute why bother. My comments were founded and to the point. I stand by what I said and from past experience have very reason to comment as such. One more reason I have blocked single men, they have no reason to criticize couples, and stir up shit.

I popped back in to see if there’d been a reposting.

@CopNKitten -“ why are you posting the same damn thing on all the threads?!? we get it. you don't like hats.”

I think it might be that they like being on top. To that, I tip my hat to them ;-)

…I love a woman with a hat on, so to speak

The good old Leesburg Bike Fest.. yearly for 7 years with a group of wild friends !

Boy has this thread taken a left turn.. but funny!

After forty years in Orlando I do have a clue about Leesburg.

I don't doubt that couple wasn't suitable. But your rant was about more than just them.

The point I was trying to make is that Leesburg residents tend to have a casual approach to life. You cannot dictate how others behave and you have to have realistic expectations for different environments. We know how to dress to impress but meeting at a restaurant with a TV in my line of sight probably calls for our best jeans and nice shirts rather than something more formal.

Yeah - his hat should have come off at the table and she should have ignored the TV. But you didn't have to spend an entire evening with them - you could have decided on a drink & appetizers instead of dinner when their appearance didn't meet your standards.

Pretty sure Miss Manners would say that proper etiquette is to remove your hat while sitting at the fancy eatin' table-with or without others, but it's OK to wear a hat in other public areas- both indoors and out.

It's also not proper etiquette to tuck the tablecloth into your collar as a bib whilst eatin' grits- or anything for that matter. And for Chrissake, DO NOT BLOW YOUR NOSE INTO THE TABLECLOTH. That goes for those of you born in a barn too.

Don't ask me how I know the tablecloth stuff, I just do.

When they realize no lifestyle members meet their standards, they will take their style and talents to South Beach like LeBron.

Phoebertandwife you do not live in this area let alone Florida. You have no idea how people dress here even if you visited for a time. People here are not farmers, as there are very few farms left as they have been developed into housing. People here are not ignorant retirees either. There are Doctors, Lawyers and such.

"...not appreciate seeing a cap or hat of any kind on someone, whether in photo or in person at the dinner table..."

I get not wanting someone to wear their hat at the dinner table. But in photos?

The OP moved to Leesburg, FL - not exactly an upscale locale. It's a farming community overrun by retirees - people are going to be wearing hats. ;-)

LOL now that's funny Wayne!

<p>I think the issue might be that the hat was worn at the dinner table. Maybe it is a cultural thing (the poster lives close to me), but it is considered rude and disrespectful to wear a hat while sitting down and eating.</p>

Bad enough that they are cross posting but they keep deleting and reposting the same thing so it is a “new” post every time I log in.

lol

" Just my opinion but we are looking for "down to earth" couples that are truly interested in sharing intimate times with us."

"down to earth" couples wear hats, so good luck with your search, especially after your rant on all the threads

why are you posting the same damn thing on all the threads?!? we get it. you don't like hats.

OK BT, you're crazy.

But Mrs. G still likes you and she'd do you- with or without a hat. But take your shoes and socks off. Something about curling toes.

That's another story too.

:-)

@Good, far be it for me to make light of any serious situation, but the last few posts a’got me thinking, call me crazy, but Men Without Hats just might be a great name for a rock band…

Obviously somebody's missing out on something.

Ron blocked me back in about 2010, I think?

"Let's just admit it... Ron did us all a favor by blocking us."

Agreed...
